A comparative evaluation of safety and efficacy of Rosuvastatin, Simvastatin, and Atorvastatin in patients of type 2 diabetes mellitus with dyslipidemia
Keywords:
Atorvastatin, dyslipidemia, Rosuvastatin, simvastatin, type-2 diabetes mellitusAbstract
Introduction: Type 2 diabetes mellitus consists of an array of dysfunctions characterized by hyperglycaemia and resulting from the combination of resistance to insulin action, inadequate insulin secretion, and excessive or inappropriate glucagon secretion. Dyslipidemia is one of the major risk factors for cardiovascular disease in diabetes mellitus. The characteristic features of diabetic dyslipidemia are a high plasma triglyceride concentration, low HDL cholesterol concentration and increased concentration of small dense LDL-cholesterol particles. To evaluate and compare the safety and efficacy of Rosuvastatin, simvastatin, and atorvastatin in patients of type 2 diabetes mellitus with dyslipidemia. Material and Method: This is prospective, comparative, open label, randomized and parallel group. The subjects enrolled for this study were selected from the Out-Patient Department of Medicine collaboration with Department of Biochemistry and Pharmacology, Tertiary care teaching hospital over a period of month. Newly diagnosed 120 cases of patients of Type II Diabetes Mellitus well controlled on oral hypoglycemic drugs were randomly divided into 3 groups of 40 each. Group A: Simvastatin 10 mg O.D and Group B was received Atorvastatin 10 mg O.D and Group C was received Rosuvastatin 10 mg O.D for 3 months.
